Resultor — Employee Confidentiality

Resultor's Direct & Confidential solution claims to be the only Sarbanes-Oxley disclosure product that promotes a corporate culture encouraging legal and ethical practices and better business results.

For the first time, employees must have direct access to the audit committee, a group of high-level independent directors. Whatever procedure companies choose, they need it to handle input from anywhere in the company and direct it quickly for resolution.

Russ Selinger, President of Resultor, LLC, highlights that the product provides employees with a way to report unlawful or unethical behavior and to follow-up with any assistance. “Many companies are finding it difficult to determine the appropriate tool to capture employee feedback, especially when it needs to be confidential and anonymous,” he adds.

Direct & Confidential helps companies meet Sarbanes Oxley requirements for employee reporting, whistleblower protection and maintaining open and effective communication with the audit committee. It educates employees on proper business practices, receives anonymous and confidential input and facilitates the review and resolution of issues through its case management system.

Resultor's Direct & Confidential Enterprise addresses broad compliance needs with case management for each compliance area, including sexual harassment, workplace safety, discrimination, HIPPA, money laundering, currency reporting and other compliance areas.

Key features include:

•    Communications – Easy customization lets companies communicate their ethical guidelines and procedures for handling employee submissions.
•    Anonymity – Employees (and other parties) are guaranteed complete anonymity and confidentiality
•    24/7 availability – Employees (or other parties) can submit a concern anytime, from anywhere, by secure website or confidential 800 number.
•    Effective management and oversight – Management and the audit committee get an effective way to handle and resolve each issue, fulfill new document retention and storage requirements and obtain automatic reports and analyses.

Both systems are Internet-based and can be used directly from a desktop. It is an effective way for employees to actively contribute sensitive information, while helping companies evaluate the information.

Employees can offer their feedback anonymously. The audit committee and the submitter can communicate anonymously and confidentially – to gain clarity or additional information – and submitters can follow the progress of their feedback anonymously, from start to resolution.

Sacramento, CA-based Resultor offers and corporate compliance products to help organizations achieve better results by unleashing the power of Results-Oriented Ideas, feedback, and recognition.
